Planning on getting this card, hoping that the performance will be at least as good as the crossfire 6850s, willing to sacrifice some power to not have to use crossfire anymore anyways. And the price seems good, especially after the instant rebate.

Any thoughts? Any better cards i could try get in a similar price range?

I have 2 AMD 7770 in crossfire. It's OK for now. I was thinking of getting a 7870XT too but I am waiting to get a new PC when Haswell is released. Maybe a true Tahiti like a 7950 when prices go down to $250. I sometimes play games in Window mode and Crossfire doesn't work in a Window so I am going back to a single card...
